The One With the Knives Out House, The Friends Finale and Pilot, the Outdoor Movie Part II, and the Schedule

This was another busy week at our house.

1. Emmie launched the "schedule for the week" this week with daily schedules to keep us on track. Although the schedules were a little off, they engaged us in going for walks, cleaning rooms, getting shopping done, getting reading and work in, and getting game time at home...including "Just Dance" parties.

2. Late at night, we actually watched the FRIENDS finale (which Emmie and I watched years ago at my old condo) followed by the FRIENDS pilot (which coincided with the first year I worked at my current school). It was a fun trip down memory lane.

3. We attempted to watch Jaws outside. Our second attempt at an outdoor movie was thwarted by some technical difficulties.

4. Kiff and I took a ride to Natick to see the Knives Out house. It was on our bucket list this summer.

All and all a busy week that also included....

Rock painting
Bird house building
Five trips to the pool
A game of Stackapus
A game of Clue (which was fun to get reintroduced to)
Finishing the outdoor living room
Weeding two gardens
Planting a garden in front of pool
We watched First Knight
We watched Summer School

The One with Knives Out

We just came home from seeing Knives Out. What a fun movie.

What made it most fun is that some of the scenes were filmed in my hometown of Natick....and I could clearly see some landmarks.

1. West Central Street

2. St. Patrick's Church

3. The area opposite Middlesex Savings Bank

4. The backside of the business opposite the police station that have a parking lot.


Perhaps my favorite was the are just past Elm Bank where the exterior of the mansion was filmed. Online, it gives little information because it is a private residence and they are trying to keep it from being visited by movie goers. Understandable!  But I totally recognize it as the mansion on that spooky road between Wellesley and Natick. As soon as I saw it in the movie, I said, "I've seen that building before."

Definitely a fun movie to watch.
